Reality Reflection' Stainless Steel, Acrylic Shelf/ Chair by Cometabolism Studio

About the Item

Reality Reflection features an abstract representation of the tail fin of an airplane, with a small square mirror in the form of a heat shield on one side and a full mirror on the other. The thermal insulation tiles were invented to protect the spacecraft from the heat of traveling back and forth between the cosmos and Earth, while the crash of the space shuttle Columbia was the result of dislodged thermal insulation tiles. Protective objects turn out to be hazards, good intentions bring about catastrophic ends. This duality represents the two sides of objects as well as the two sides of people, and simultaneously they manage to be harmoniously in a state of unity, a reality that we try to reflect. About the Artist: Cometabolism Studio is a design studio based in Shanghai, founded by Zhang Ning and Yang Yafei. Zhang Ning graduated from the designer maker program at Camberwell College of Arts, University of the Arts London. The direction of her work explores the entangled relationship between objects and human behavior. Yang Yafei graduated from the Department of Oil Painting of Sichuan Fine Arts Institute and Furniture Design at Central Academy of Fine Arts China. His works often use industrial readymades to blur the definition of objects and play with the idea of power of public space, attempting to derive industrial production relations through ready-made industrial components. The duo have collaborated on several art and design projects as long-time friends and expect to rethink the creative process under the ruins of the post-industrial heritage. In 2020, they established Cometabolism Studio to explore the possibility of reactivating mass-produced industrial metabolites such as industrial components and blurring their function in space, allowing art to intervene in everyday space. At the same time, through digital generation and other technologies, they explore undefined art objects that can blur the border between the real and the virtual.
